Overview

Key facts

The Master’s level PGDE programme closely integrates 18 weeks of on-campus learning with 18 weeks of school experience, providing the opportunity to develop as an engaged, reflective and enquiring beginning teacher, committed to research-informed professional learning throughout your career.
Each element of our PGDE programme, whether University-based or school-based, encourages a research-informed approach, aligning with the criteria articulated in the GTCS Standard for Provisional Registration and the University of Glasgow’s graduate attributes.
The Education (Primary) programme at the University of Glasgow promotes and upholds values and dispositions consonant with the broad, social purposes of education. It is research-led with a focus on social justice, challenging you to examine your values and beliefs about what it means to be a socially-just and inclusive teacher.
Career prospects
Upon successful completion of the PGDE, you will have met the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) Standard for Provisional Registration, allowing you to begin working within a school(s) to achieve the Standard for Full Registration. Many of our graduates are teaching not only in Scotland’s primary and secondary schools, but throughout the UK and further abroad.
